The hardworking folks @phillydefenders @phillydefenderstaffunion have an NLRB election next week to save their union and the strong union contract they just negotiated. The attempt to decertify their union is outrageous union busting and has no place in Philadelphia. ->

Union YES. Andrea has been at the Defender for 26 years, and Candy has been here for 24. They’ve devoted decades of their lives to providing the best holistic representation for our clients, and they’re voting YES ->

On June 9 & 10, we’re voting UNION YES to save our union and our union contract. KEEP “Right to Work” OUT OF PHILADELPHIA. We are the non-attorney staff of the Defender Association, the nonprofit that provides free legal representation to Philadelphia’s most vulnerable. ->
